If you live near Lexington and have not been, you are truly missing out. Flavorful sauce, crispy bottom, and quality toppings are the basic foundations of a good pizza. I've eaten a lot of pizza in my life, this is the best in Lexington and a heavy hitter for the Tri-state. Man, food was extremely good. Rome is my favorite city, and Roman's would find this place a welcome cup of comfort from home. This hole in the wall one man shop is a hidden gem off the beaten path. Seating inside is tight, so it's a great spot for eating outside on the patio. But if that detours you, come inside and get it to go! You won't be sorry. read more

Dingbats Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

8/27/25 My husband and I tried Dingbats Pizza for the first time and got a variety of slices to sample. The spinach artichoke was hands down my favorite. it was packed with so much flavor and was just all around delicious! I also really liked that their crust like a ciabatta bread. such a unique touch compared to regular pizza. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Honestly, every slice we tried was solid, and I'd definitely go back again soon. read more

Dingbats Pizza - Pepperoni Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Really good pizza, pretty fast service. Roman style pizza slices (square and crunchy), lots of options like spinach and artichoke, sausage and onions. They also have traditional pizzas, so flavors like pepperoni and cheese. The space is small and parking on Jefferson is always kind of hit or miss, so I definitely recommend getting your order to go. Still a fun space and I'm so happy they left the outside mural along. The garlic knots are amazing with extra butter and loaded with parmesan and garlic. I can only imagine how good the cheese bread is! read more

Dingbats Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

During pizza week I got the pizza with beet pesto. Very creative and never would have thought of! The goat cheese on it went very well with the beet, and kale on top was good. I'd seen this building before but didn't know what it was (a pizza restaurant), so glad pizza week got me to go. The worker was nice. It looks like mostly a take out place, as not much seating at all inside, which is fine with me. read more

Dingbats Pizza - Beet pesto and goat cheese pizza for Lex Pizza Week - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Interesting concept. Sticking with a four for now because I don't think I can speak to the full experience with delivery only. Creative flavor combinations and love the idea of the mystery boxes. Cinnamon sticks sticks are yummy - work for both dessert and breakfast with tea the next day. Reheated surprisingly well. Looking forward to my next visit - hopefully in person! read more

Business is closed. The pizza was good , i have been there several times and tried several different pizzas. Business is closed

Dingbats is a very interesting pizza bakery (it is a bakery, right?). It is an experience, especially if you go with their mystery boxes. Very creative flavor combinations and generous sizes if you like to buy by the slice! Pizza bread is chef's kiss - I like to mix the habanero ranch and marina. Cinnamon sticks are also amazing - leftovers for breakfast are a perk! read more

The pizza here is very good. The way they make pizza reminds me of NYC pizza places where they pre make their pizzas and then when you order they put them in a really hot oven, get the crust extra crispy and it warms, gooey and delicious. I tried 4 of their pizzas and all 4 were quite good. But honestly the single best thing I had here was their cinnamon bread thing. It was one of the best things I've eaten in a very long time. It was the perfect balance of bread, sugar, cinnamon and sweet melty icing. It was so good I came back a week later to have it again after I ate somewhere else. If you only get one thing here you should make sure you get that. It's under the appetizers list but I wouldn't have it as an appetizer, I'd definitely have it as a desert. Still after a week I'm still fantasizing about that cinnamon sticks, bread thing. The ambiance is super casual with only a couple places to sit inside. If you come during the winter it does get pretty chilly inside. But during the summer they have a bunch of outdoor seating. I came in the winter so I haven't seen it but you can see the chairs stacked outside where it would be staged. The service is the same. Casual but super friendly. You can tell it's new but I'd definitely recommend trying this spot! read more

Dingbats Pizza - Cinnamon Sticks - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

My husband went here and picked up pizza for us for lunch. The pizza was so good and different. Better than from other pizzas I have eaten. We had the Tito which included house cream sauce, chicken, banana peppers, and dab's habanero. The other pizza we had was called the sunny. The ingredients on this pizza were sun dried tomato pesto, arugula, goat cheese, olive oil, and blistered cherry tomatoes. I would recommend given this place a try. read more

Delicious! Not the best pizza I've ever had, but definitely good. I will go back to try other kinds. The cinnamon sticks were my favorite! Warm, soft, chewy dough and very sweet. I did not order extra pepperoni on the pizza, so that's the standard amount in the picture! I ordered right at opening at noon and everything was ready in 20 minutes. Staff was friendly. read more

Well....first time I ordered from here was absolutely great. Pizza was a great ratio of crust to cheese and came out hot from the gentleman that made it and I thought all was well and this was my go to spot. I went a second time and the attached is what she served me. So I haven't been back and I'm gun shy to ever go back. Who serves this to a customer?! Literally cold cheese. read more

Dingbats Pizza - They keep deleting the pic - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I've had pizza from literally the whole world; Italy, China, Japan, Belgium, Czech Republic, etc, and every major US state. This is easily top 5. And, if I could sample the top 5, all at the same time, I would not be surprised if this came out as number 1. Roman style crust is incredible. Sauces and toppings were perfectly paired. Do yourself a favor and go get a slice right now. read more

Stopped there on the way home and got some pizza to go. Long drive home ( thanks I75...) but after a couple of minutes in the air fryer it was really really good Best I have had in a while. read more

Woo hoo! We really enjoyed Dingbats pizza, it was super good. We had the garlic knots and they were amazing. They almost melted in our mouths. We had several different slices and they were all very good. Can't wait to return! read more

See my review!! Really excellent surprises! We loved the pizza, but we good night eat the whole pizza because it was so wonderfully large and there was so much pepperoni that we never would have had to order pepperoni on the pizza but we got a lot of stuff on it and it was wonderful. It is a really nice little place and a good crew that worked hard to make our stuff and pick it up in just a few minutes. It seemed like seconds! read more

Now this is a pizza place! They make a Roman style crust, so if you want a slice of something different you have to give this place a try. Crispy crust on the bottom, fresh toppings, cheese, and best of all a great sauce. For $6.00 you get a generous slice. So if you're in the area give this place a try. I will be going back. read more

Took a shot at Dingbats today and was not disappointed! The owner was very personable and food was great! Fresh out of the oven. Pictured is a "Build Your Own" 12" pizza. Fresh mozzarella is the only way to go and their ranch is delicious. We will be back for the Roman style pizza soon! I would recommend this place to all who have a genuine appreciation for good food. read more

Dingbats Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

One of the best pizzas in Lexington. Crust is flavorful and texture has a great mix of crunchy and chew. Didn't know artichoke hearts could be so good on the Capricciosa. Modestly priced and ingredients taste fresh with great quality. read more

This new counter serve pizza spot is phenomenal. Roman style square pizza by the slice, or you can build your own pizza (round or square). The slices are huge and the taste is excellent. It lives up to the "Roman style" moniker and is every bit as good as pizza by the slice in Rome. read more

What can you say about a unique pizza shop to intrigue people without giving too much away... ITS GREAT

If you want a honest review. This place was not in a normal spot with a lot of traffic, but if it was you other pizza places would count there days. I am a Chicagoan and was here for work. I ordered a bunch of pizzas for my crew and i am sure glad i chose this place. I'd take this pizza out of a lot of my favorite Chicago places. read more

My son and I swung in during their first week. Friendly staff. Great options, pizza was fantastic. Great crust. Will be back.

Fire the entire staff. Our $38 pizza and bread was awful. Basically hard flat bread pizza coated with red sauce. There was nothing good about it and we didn't eat it. I showed it to other guest and staff at our hotel. The garlic bread was hard as a rock. read more

Any true Italian knows it's about the dough. Living in Chicago and visiting Lexington for its incredible bourbon we were lucky enough to find Dingbats. At Dingbats, they know it's about the dough! Great taste and perfectly baked to crunchy perfection on the outside with a perfect chew on the inside. Five stars from this Italian! read more

I wasn't that excited about yet another pizza place- but - Dingbats is so different and amazing. The crust is crispy and thick like foccaccia. Great toppings. A single slice of Roman is a meal by itself. You must try it out! read more

Friendly workers. I got 3 slices and they were all huge. The Tito was amazing. The pepperoni was solid. The sixer was decent but not my favorite style of pizza. Only issue was they were all cold in the middle. Since it's reheated by the slice it made sense but I wish it were warmed longer. Good experience! read more

Great slices of pizza, pretzels are great! Spicy ranch and marinara are musts. Friendly atmosphere & staff who cares about the customer as much as making good food! read more
